Women in the Libyan coastal city of Zuwarah marched with their children along the coastal road, calling for the trial of former regime officials for their mistreatment of the women of Libya. The city’s 45,000 inhabitants, who are largely Berber, were subjected to harsh repression, torture and murder under Gaddafi and his mercenaries. The women marched chanting: “thank you rebels for the victory and for returning life to the city.” The city has been reborn since the overthrow of Gaddafi’s regime. Zuwarah’s youth established a committee to clean the city’s streets and remove the trash that accumulated during the Gaddafi’s rule. Zuwarah is located on the Mediterranean approximately 100 kilometres west of Tripoli and 60 kilometres from the Tunisian border. The city’s population are ancestors of the Amazig. As native-Berber speakers, they call the city by its original name, Tamurt. Zuwarah’s Berber population are the originals inhabitants of Libya. The population largely lives off fishing, trade and agriculture.
